The other thing that drives me nuts about Leica is their marketing, which makes you feel like you're buying fine jewelry rather than a useful camera system.
Leica marketing has never made me feel like *I'm* buying fine jewelry. It's made me feel like some idiot doctor or lawyer thinks they might be buying fine jewelry...

I have mixed feelings about the Leica M system. The lenses are of very high quality, and everything is small enough that I can travel (or hike) with a fairly complete kit when I'd otherwise not bring a camera at all. Most of my favorite "opportunistic" photos have been with a Leica.
But everything is obscenely expensive. And while the small size is great, it's also a compromise. I usually wish I had my larger camera (with movements, etc) with me instead.
@mattblaze but you should feel privileged that they let you, a mortal buy a Leica.
I have to slum it with an OM system camera.

@mattblaze Part of the cost is prestige.

When I finally had collected and boxed up my father’s cameras. He was mainly a Nikon guy, but had a long history of photography which included photojournalism way back when in San Diego.
In that collection was a Leica + lenses and other models that are now antiques, but when I brought it to the local camera specialist shop, the men behind the counter literally wept at the collection of gear

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mattblaze Your dad's name wasn't Larry, by any chance was it?

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mattblaze Ok, I grew up in San Diego, was a budding photographer and photojournalist at one time and knew someone who sounded similar.

The time bracket here would’ve been the 1950s / 1960. I don’t actually know the time bracket he worked down there, but it would’ve been for broadcast television.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mattblaze The Larry I'm referring to was Larry Littlefield, who was Sports Editor and photographer for the Escondido Times Advocate for a number of years, but also free-lanced and was published in the San Diego Union. This was in the early 1970s.

That name I have heard.

@informapirata @smaurizi @politica già, a Prato per es. Avrei dovuto specificare, ma nel turbinio emozionale...

@storiespettinate io intendevo la situazione in generale.
Se sono nel fediverso non lo so.
Non ho evidenze, per ora... 😏

@gazzettadelcadavere ehm... Quella cinese, in realtà, l'abbiamo invitata già e dispone anche di qualche sede sparsa qua e là.
Quanto alla Russia, abbiamo fatto entrare l'armata rossa a Bergamo durante il Covid...

@extratrek @andreabont @thegib @floreana caspita che peso questo articolo. In parte sono d'accordo perche' riscontro tutto nel terzo episodio, in parte un po' meno ma voglio aspettare la fantomatica svolta. Forse mi accontento non lo so, ma per ora non mi sembra male e ci sono cose che mi divertono. Solo non mi piace Nus Braka, almeno per ora.

@BuyFromEU Are you aware what sort of crap you are promoting here? I see your point EU vs US, tho.

@Zambunny @oblomov @70hz Non conoscevo Lazy Nezumi Pro, ma cercandolo, ho visto che non ha una versione per Linux, quindi si complica leggermente la faccenda.
Ho provato ad installarlo sul mio pc per vedere se funziona, ed è partito senza fare troppe storie (non ho una tavoletta grafica per confermare se funziona, ma almeno il software si apre).
È difficile spiegarlo da qui, ma magari esiste una guida italiana su un programma che si chiama Lutris
